I hadn't really done P&G too much, as I figured it wasn't worth it at higher speeds. But I tried this today, and WOW! My typical morning commute, I'll get 42MPG, and afternoon I'll get 39-41, depending on the traffic.

But I tried the LOG technique today, and got 47MPG in the morning, and 48 on the way home. With a little more planning of the pulses to the terrain, 50 should be no problem. I used pulses up to 60MPH (No SG, so I can't determine 'Load'), and would coast down to 45, 50 if there were too many cars behind me. Definitely very effective. I've been blaming my relatively poor mileage of late on my new area, but now there's no reason to not be pulling 50+ tanks.
